The oil type for the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is always full synthetic, SAE standard but the viscosity varies on each engine type. The 3.0L V6 uses 5W-40 and has an oil capacity of 8.1 quarts, with filter. 3.6L V6 uses 0W-20 and can hold 5.9 quarts, with filter. The 5.7L V8 engine prefers 5W-20 and holds 7 quarts of oil with a fresh filter. The 6.4L V8 engine uses 0W-40 and also holds 7 quarts with a filter..
The 2017 Grand Cherokee manual says "you may use" synthetic engine oils, but synthetic engine oil IS NOT specified as required.
